38. No, because that would be like saying I don't have a voice either
Sorry if it doesn't apply to you yourself, but I'm just tired of the snark. Not that folks shouldn't have a voice, but to be continually reminded that some people are disappointed, the same people, continueally disappointed, continually letting us know that their feelings of abandonment haven't changed since yesterday, gets a bit tiresome.

It's not that folks are critical. It's the "too little too late" posts. It's the "Maybe he should stay in Iraq" posts. It's the "I'm glad he lost" posts. Not constructive, not helpful, just freaking tedious.

And then many of them say, as you just said, "I have the right, because I worked for him." To criticize, yes. To bash, no. That's like excusing abuse because the man bought the woman dinner, and figured he owed her.

I don't think working for a candidate gives a person the right to bash and repetitively post the same sarcastic comments. And there is a difference between that, and honest criticism.

As I say, it might not apply to you. Sorry if my frustration spilled out onto you unduly.
